Hey all, as some of you may know Microsoft plans to release SP1 for Vista around march, and promises a better OS. Heres SP1 in ALOT of depth http://apcmag.com/6929/vista_sp1_in_depth . The reason I am posting this is because you can be a beta tester. What happened is that Microsoft released SP1 Beta RC1 to a small group of users, all of which yielded happy results, so far. It was eventually leaked through a registry hack to allow Windows Update to get you the Service Pack, pretty odd considering the way Microsoft does other things (I think they wanted it to get leaked). Now it is available to ANYONE who so desires through Microsoft with a very similar registry tweak. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

^There is their link to Microsoft's website with the files necessary for the update.

Word to the Wise:
Back-up EVERYTHING
If you don't have a genuine copy, I reccomend you don't instal yet
This is intended for those of use who are having problems with Vista, if you aren't I would HIGHLY advise that you stick with the old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" until the final release.

Good luck and although I don't know everything, feel free to post problems you may have, I'll most likely will be able to assist you.
